Independent Units
Combine To Form
Permanent Body
Representatives of Penn State's
four major independent organiza
tions have united to form a perma
nent committee for extra-curricu
lar action, Kehl Markeley, IMA
president, stated late yesterday.
Officers of the Independent
Men's Association, Penn State
Club, Independent Women's Asso
ciation, and Philotes will be in
cluded in the Independent Student
Committee, according to Markley.
The committee hopes to bring
about coordinated action in spon
sorship of sports, social, and edu
catipnal events for independents,
the IMA president stated.
Officers of the four independent
organizations decided; to unite,
Markley said, because of the suc
cess their groups experienced in
sponsoring the first All-College
Independent Dance last January,
and because of the cooperation
displayed in planning for next
month's dance.

Tribunal Holds Initial
Meeting; Freshmen May
Remove Name Cards, Ties
Although Tribunal didn't start
to function officially until last
night, freshman violations have
been turned in, and at last night's
meeting, cards were sent to viola
tors summoning them to appear at
next week's meeting.
Laibe" A. Kessler, new Tribunal
chairman appointed by Harry F.
Kerns, president of eighth semes
ter and chairman of the cabinet,
revealed last night that freshmen
may remove black ties and name
cards at 5:30 o'clock tomorrow.
However, Kessler stated, other
regulations listed in the handbook,
such as white socks, dinks, and
tipping of dinks in front of the
willow tree by the water fountain,
will be enforced for four more
weeks. At the end of this time,
-behavior and attitude of the fresh
men will determine whether it will
be necessary to continue the 'cus
toms period.
Originally freshman men's cus
toms were to be called off Mon
day, but laxness of freshmen in
obeying customs caused Tribunal
to extend this period.
All hat men are asked to wear
their hats and enforce as well as
report the names of violators. Men
appointed to Tribunal besides
Kessler are Edgar McKean, vice
chairman; David G. Keeney.
Charles F. Hall, and Howard Mil
liken.
Freshmen who receive a sum
mons from Tribunal must appear
before this group on the date speci
fied, Kessler emphasized. Tribunal
has power to enforce violations,
and failure to comply with Trib
unal's wishes can have serious re
sults.
